Calculate paving stones to buy from patio size, actual paver dimensions and cut allowance.
- Project area

- Order area with waste

Whole packages round up. Prices include only the items you enter. Delivery, tax and installation may be extra.
How to calculate
This area method assumes a single rectangular paver size. Joints are not deducted, making the count conservative. Mixed-size patterns need the manufacturer’s pattern coverage.
Worked example
Length (ft): 16 · Width (ft): 12 · Paver length (in): 8 · Paver width (in): 4 · Extra material (%): 10.
These inputs produce 951 pavers to order. Change the measurements above to match your project.
Before you order
Measure actual face dimensions. Add border courses and steps separately; do not count their area twice.
For an irregular footprint, split the project into rectangles. Calculate each section and combine unrounded quantities before rounding the final order. Ask the supplier to confirm product yield and available package sizes.
Common questions
Is the allowance an installation recommendation?
No. It is an editable purchasing buffer. Cuts, spills and product requirements vary. Confirm the allowance for your layout.
Does this include installation costs?
Only prices you explicitly enter are included. A material-only result is not an installed quote. Request an itemized quote for site preparation, access, removal, drainage, labor, delivery and tax.
